Beyond the idea of extending lifespan, Dr. Lipman is passionate about promoting healthspan and emotional wellbeing. Emphasizing the importance of diet, sleep, exercise, and positive relationships, Dr. Lipman shares his journey from traditional to integrative medicine, starting in South Africa and transitioning to the U.S., where he began incorporating holistic practices into his treatment methods.

    This week I welcomed Todd LePine, MD to my show to talk about the critical role of mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse, impacting virtually all bodily functions from movement to brain activity. Beginning with an overview of what mitochondria is and its importance, Dr. LePine looks ahead to share the potential of mitochondrial medicine in shaping the landscape of future healthcare. Dr. Lepine, a veteran in functional and integrative medicine, shares the surprising story that led him to his medical practice (that includes the famous Norman Rockwell painting, “Before the Shot”). Our conversation spans the importance of lifestyle choices, dietary habits, stress management, and environmental factors on mitochondrial health. We discuss strategies like intermittent fasting, high-intensity interval training, and exposure to natural light as opportunities to enhance mitochondrial function. Dr. LePine also shares an overview of things to avoid to preserve mitochondrial integrity and underscores the importance of connecting with nature for overall well-being. Dr. LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. Additionally, he has advanced clinical training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and is a certified Functional Medicine physician. The focus of his practice is to help patients achieve optimal health by restoring balance to nutritional biochemistry in the body and to teach patients how to adopt healthy lifestyle habits. Tune as we discuss the profound interconnectedness between mitochondrial health and our broader quality of life, including encouragement to build a strong community, find a movement practice you enjoy, and spend more time in nature. 00:00 The Power of Mitochondria: An Introduction 00:24 A Journey into Functional Medicine with Dr. Todd LePine 07:20 The Evolution and Importance of Mitochondria 12:31 Mitochondrial Health: From Diet to Biohacking 23:21 Revitalizing Your Mitochondria: Practical Tips and Techniques 27:37 Exploring Red Light Therapy and Its Benefits 28:28 The Power of Polyphenols in Your Diet 29:40 Supplements for Mitochondrial Support: From Urolithin A to PQQ 32:16 Mitochondrial Testing: Understanding Your Body's Powerhouses 36:35 Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Affecting Mitochondria 38:29 Stress Management and Its Impact on Mitochondrial Health 44:47 Practical Tips for Enhancing Mitochondrial Health 44:59 Expanding Social Networks for Better Health 51:16 Concluding Thoughts on Mitochondrial Health and Wellness Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmyMyersMD Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Dr. Todd LePine Website: https://www.drlepine.com/
